Test Shots

We did some test shots of different angles, movements and shots that we could encorperate into our music video.

We could use High Angle shots to show how our main character has little power or to cause dramatic effect. As with Low Angle shots it will provide dramatic effect and will give the focus of the shot a sense of importance and power. Dutch Angles will give a surreal effect and make it mysterious. Although this doesn't suit our idea we could use it for dramatic effect.
Wide shots can be used to show all of the events occuring such as when our character walks down the road and can give a sense of space. Medium shots can be used to show more detail and focus on a certain person or object. Close-ups can be used for direct narrative and to show the facial expresions to emphasis the lyrics and singing. Extreme close-ups can emphasis a particular object such as a photograph or a particular area of the face such as the eye with a tear falling down their cheek.
Panning shots can give the audience a sense of involvement or distance depending on the distance between the subject and the camera. It can be used to follow the characters actions as they move across the shot. It can be used dramatically to create a good effect. Tilt shots can be used to cause dramatic effect.
Other shots that can be used are the Pedestal shot to create dramatic effect. Over the Shoulder shot to show a conversation/ argument between the characters. Point of View shots can be used to show what is happening through the characters eyes and can cause more involvement for the audience keeping them insterested. Cut in shot can be used to show a certain action such as if the character is picking something up. A follow shot can be used to give the audience involvement in the narrative or can be used as a Point of View shot to show that the boyfriend is following her.
